As far as I can tell they have frequently used the names of famous scientists, such as Kepler, Fermi, Maxwell, Pascal, Turing, Ampere, and Ada Lovelace. This has existed long before Hopper.

This seems to be the case for UPS store returns as well. It was faster than any Kohl’s return due to the size of the store (and not positioning it near the back like multiple Kohl’s locations I’ve visited). I assume the GP comment was descr

Just a heads-up: I'm having trouble loading the website as linked here without `www.`, but https://www.marqo.ai as linked on the GitHub repo works fine.

The tied-to-employer visa also exists in the UK (SWV), Switzerland (B and L, I believe) and several other European countries (not sure if a majority).

It seems like they meant that the existence of free global roaming suggests that roaming fees may not be very lucrative for the visited carrier, and exorbitant roaming rates are mostly to the benefit of the home carrier.

Assuming you mean Pakistan and Bangladesh, the latter was not formed in the partition and was a province of Pakistan.

While this was in Ireland, it's worth specifying that Royal Mail was responsible for this wholesome delivery as it was in Northern Ireland (currently in the UK), so it's not immediately obvious that this applies to the Republic as

I think it depends on how one interprets the parent comment. I read it as a home/residence country taxing worldwide income, which is true for most Western countries. The US is unique in taxing worldwide income (with notable exemptions)

I think the absence of an Ireland situation for Switzerland is meaningful, here. There isn't a preexisting open border agreement that Switzerland is obligated to uphold by both the EU and the US, which the Good Friday Agreement is for

Most of that price difference tends to be the higher (and included in the price) national VAT compared to US state/local sales taxes which aren’t typically included.

British taxation of the colonies (e.g. the Stamp Act and others) was in the opposite direction. The British government was not paying the colonies for its presence in what would become the US.

Yes, just as white or many non-red flags would. The idea is that other flags are indiscernible from red flags because everything is rose-tinted, and more amusingly the playful combining of two common English expressions.

As an aside, I just want any form of mixing tap for my sink in the UK, but apparently that’s still too much to ask for in many buildings here so I’m left with the separate hot/cold taps that are inevitably too far away to sort of “spla
